Pros

Less / no work load.

Cons

It was a mistake to join KPMG GLOBAL SERVICES. You won't believe the management has set up an agreement with other competitor big 4 firms which states that a KGS employee should not be hired- the reason being below the poverty line pay due to which there is high attrition rate across all department. I can guarantee you that KGS will pay 2 Lakh less than the industry standards. Secondly senior management is concerned only to track the employee movement & is given zero preference for work experience, only they are concerned is put employee on contract by sending them to foreign countries for few weeks or by putting them in professional qualifications trap- the best way they found to retain employee with very very low pay scale.

Pros

You get to work with an awesome, highly resilient group of local peers in the advisory practice. The KPMG brand still holds value, but the internal team dynamics have become incredibly fractured.

Cons

We have outsourced 80%+ of our Risk Advisory work, leaving onshore seniors with massive gaps in their experience. As a manager, I am stuck doing senior-level work because I typically have only one or zero local seniors or associates on my teams. The best leaders have already resigned because this model prevents actual management and mentoring. Also, it might take you 30+ years to become partner in Risk Advisory, if at all.
